Hello everyone! My name is Orestis Lagouvardos-Kotronis, I am almost 23 years old and I was born and raised in Athens.

I have recently concluded my studies in the field of Economics at Athens University of Economics and Business and I am currently sitting for a minor in the field of Finance at American College of Greece. Since November I’m interring as a financial analyst.

From early on I discovered my profound interest on foreign languages as well as arbitration with Model United Nations being a significant contributor in this process. I discovered the world of MUN’s at the age of 16 and since then I have participated in simulations, simulating national, regional and international organizations both in Greece and abroad. I also love reading, writing, travelling and exploring new places and landscapes.

From my capacity as Deputy Director General of SimUNESCO 2018 I would like to welcome you to a voyage into the world of diplomacy and arbitration. SimUnesCO is something more than a regular conference. Organized by students for students, characterized by academic excellence and professionalism and based on the values of understanding, respect and mutual contribution this conference is a pure illustration that unity makes strength.
